Classification Unit Vocab #1-7
1.
Classification – the process of grouping similar things together
2.
Kingdom – a major, large group of similar organisms
3.
Species – a unique kind of organism
4.
Organism – any living thing
5.
Taxonomy – the science of classification
6.
Genus – a number of similar, closely related species
7.
Carl Linnaeus – 18th century Swedish scientist who developed the
two name classification system we use today
Classification Unit Vocab #8-15:
8.
Binomial nomenclature – classification system giving each organism
two names, a genus and species name (homo sapiens)
9.
Homo sapiens - the scientific name for humans
10.
Fungi – multicellular organisms that have a nucleus and absorb the
organism that it is growing on (mushrooms, yeast, and molds)
11.
Spores - single reproductive cells which grow into a new plant
12.
Autotrophs – organisms that make their own food
13.
Heterotrophs – organisms that can’t make their own food
14.
Vertebrate – an animal with a backbone
15.
Invertebrate – an animal without a backbone

Lesson 2: What are Vertebrates and
Invertebrates?

We will learn about 5 categories of vertebrates and 5 categories of
invertebrates

Form and Function

Read pages 104-108
Vertebrates
1.
Mammals
 warm blooded, have
hair, produce milk for young
 monkeys, mice, whales, kangaroos, people, to name a few!
2.
Birds
 warm blooded, hollow
3.
bones, lay eggs, feathers
Reptiles
 cold
blooded, live in warm places, lungs, lay eggs, dry scaly skin
 snakes, lizards, alligators, crocodiles, turtles
4.
Fish
 cold
5.
blooded, gills, lay eggs
Amphibians
 cold
blooded, lungs & gills, moist skin (no scales), lay eggs
 frogs, toads, & salamanders
Invertebrates
We will learn about:
1. Sponges,
jellyfish, and corals
2. Worms
3. Mollusks
4. Echinoderms
5. Arthropods
Happy Invertebrates! 5:25
Cool Fact!
97% of the animal
kingdom are
invertebrates,
3% are vertebrates
Invertebrates
1. Sponges, jellyfish, and coral
• All live in salt water oceans
• Sponges take in water, filter out food (plankton),
and push out waste
• Jellyfish have tentacles with venomous stingers
• Corals get nutrients from algae's photosynthesis
Sponges! 9:43
Invertebrates
2.
Worms
 two
body openings
 simple
 Ex.
3.
nervous system
Flatworms, roundworms, segmented worms
Mollusk
 soft
3
bodies
body parts (head, body, foot)
 Ex.
Clams, oysters, squid, octopus, snails
Invertebrates
4.
5.
Echinoderms

external skeletons, 5 body parts

Ex. Starfish, sea urchin, sea cucumber, sand dollar
Arthropods

bodies divided into segments, legs with several joints,

have an exoskeleton

Categorized by 6 legs (ants, flies), 8 legs (spiders), 10 legs (crabs,
lobsters), and more than 10 legs (centipedes)

Ex. insects (are the largest group of land animals), spiders, crabs,
lobsters, scorpions, centipedes, millipedes
Vertebrates and Invertebrates REVIEW

example of the animal
Fungi

Multi-celled organisms

Heterotrophs (absorb food
from living or dead
organisms)

Live off dead or living
organisms (like dead trees)decomposers

Examples: mushrooms,
molds, mildew, & yeast
(single-celled fungi)
Fungi Video 14:43
Protists

Single celled organisms

Eukaryotes (have a nucleus)


Some are heterotrophs, some are autotrophs
Examples: protozoa, amoeba, algae, blue-green
algae, diatoms, euglena
Protist Video 3:11
Monerans
Monerans (bacteria)

Smallest & most numerous of earth’s organisms

Simple, singled celled organisms

Prokaryotes (don’t have a nucleus)

Heterotrophs AND Autotrophs
Bacteria are the most numerous
organisms on earth & live
EVERYWHERE
(even where nothing wants to live!)
